A comparatively recent release from Bowmore, the 18 year old was launched in January of 2007 to replace the 17 year old. A perfumed, fruity offering from the Islay distillery.
Pungent, citrus. Stewing fruit, hints of damp wood and a very soft smoke.
Spirity at first, then gives way to perfume, fruit, plum jam. A good sweetness, peat smoke, grapey.
Seville marmalade, blossom, dark peat.
many of our members are into the bowmore style,this for the money, is in our opinion the best.the tasting notes are spot on.
